These experiments opened up new frontiers in brain research and gave rise to much of what we know about hemispheric specialization and integration. (nature.com)
Gazzaniga, M. S. Cerebral specialization and interhemispheric communication: does the corpus callosum enable the human condition? (nature.com)
Theoretical models of the functional neuroanatomy of both normal and psychopathological affective processes which posit cortical hemispheric specialization of functions have been supported by both lesion and functional neuroimaging studies in humans. (virginia.edu)
Results from human neuroimaging studies in support of amygdalar hemispheric specialization are inconsistent. (virginia.edu)
However, recent results from human lesion studies are consistent with hemispheric specialization. (virginia.edu)
We propose this feature of the primate brain, in particular the human brain, is a result of influences from frontocortical hemispheric specialization which have developed over the course of primate brain evolution. (virginia.edu)
Inhibition1
Age and hemispheric differences in transcallosal inhibition between motor cortices: an ispsilateral silent period study. (springer.com)
Influences1
Interestingly, there is evidence that interhemispheric integration and hemispheric asymmetries are modifiable by endocrinological influences. (nin.nl)
Important2
it has been reported that GSM electromagnetic fields of a mobile phone modulate inter- hemispheric synchronization (an important physiological feature of information transfer into the brain ) of temporal and frontal resting EEG rhythms in normal young subjects . (emf-portal.org)
An important, yet largely ignored, feature of the amygdalae in the primate brain--derived from both neuroanatomical and electrophysiological data--is that there are virtually no direct interhemispheric connections via the anterior commissure (AC). (virginia.edu)
Integration1
In previous studies, our group could show an enhancing effect of acute stress on interhemispheric integration. (nin.nl)
Effect1
However, one can also imagine that hemispheric transfer has a hampering effect on language processing. (psychologytoday.com)
Transfer3
The brain's processing of information affected by hemispheric transfer. (psychologytoday.com)
To test the efficiency of the hemispheric transfer, the researchers showed a randomized list of words and nonsense words to the left or right eye of a number of research participants. (psychologytoday.com)
These results suggest that a temporary increase in cortisol alone might not be enough to affect the interhemispheric transfer of information via the corpus callosum. (nin.nl)
Normal1
A fourth, rare type, called middle interhemispheric variant, is characterized by fusion of the posterior frontal and parietal lobes as well as possibly the thalamus but with normal hemispheric differentiation elsewhere. (msdmanuals.com)
Feature1
This feature stands in stark contrast to that of the rodent brain wherein virtually all amygdalar nuclei have direct interhemispheric connections. (virginia.edu)
Development Bank2
The Women's Health Survey (WHS) 2016 Jamaica, published two months ago, is the first annual Women's Health Survey report for Jamaica and it is part of a larger collection of Inter-American Development Bank research on intimate partner violence (IPV) in the Caribbean. (oas.org)
Also participating in today's session was Ferdinando Regalia, chief of the Social Protection and Health Division of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and Dr. Anarfi Asamoa-Baah, Deputy Director-General of WHO. (bvsalud.org)
Role1
Together with previous results from our group, this suggests that chronically elevated stress hormone levels play a more central role in the relationship between altered hemispheric asymmetries and a variety of mental disorders. (nin.nl)
